Whole Wheat Bread and the Muppets video

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Monday, January 15, 2007 at 2:00 PM (EST)

A director named Whil recently assembled a unique video for Whole Wheat Bread using some iconic characters. Though unsolicited by the band, it's definitely worth a look.

The video is for a track from the band's recent EP, Punk Life which is available now. The band is currently booking a co-headlining tour alongside Against All Authority with dates expected soon.

They were a pretty damn good time here in SF. The kids in the pit loved them.
Then they played "Maxwell Murder" and the whole place exploded.

ChokingVictim (January 15, 2007)

You mean on the Gold Tour?

Yeah, at the stop in VA the lead singer was doing backflips off stage into the pit, they put on a really fun show.

Hahahahaha, holy shit that was great. When I saw the article I thought why on earth is PN posting a fan made video, but that is truly genius.

this band is not a gimmick, the first time i saw them, i was blown away... this was back in 02 or 03 sometime... anyhow, after their set, my friend gary and i asked nick if he wanted to smoke some bud.. so they agreed... we went to their van and lit up and i asked them a ton of questions... like about their stagenames and shit and how they feel about gettin outta florida to do shows.. theyre cool guys

fuck yeah feb. 20th new orleans.

FresnoSka (January 15, 2007)

that song is fucking ridiculous, and why do they always tour with ska bands?

I thought of that, but they weren't trademarked Muppets. Isn't the name "Muppet" copywritten?

Someone (January 15, 2007)

Made me smile.

As for the EP, I like 3 of the 6 songs. That's 3/6 which equals 1/2.

Me smart.

AphasiacIIC (January 15, 2007)

theyre good live but i cant stand them on album, well theyre not good live MUSICALLY but theyre hilarious

so first they get billing over world/inferno and now they are "co-headlining" with AAA who the fuck do they think they are

A band that draws people to their show and sells tickets?

FresnoSka (January 15, 2007)

True that, arent they headlining over RX Bandits as well? Although I thought that the RxB draws well, even better than Whole Wheat Bread. I guess you cant compete with the Dirty South Crunk Rock

Fuzzy (justin) (January 15, 2007)

RXB's draw has gone way down hill since their 3 year gap between albums and the injection of even more substances into their bodies. They switched from headlining Slim's over to the Bottom of the Hill here in SF, which is a pretty substantial drop.

Someone (January 15, 2007)

lol. you are so retarded. gastric bypass, look into it.

Fuzzy (justin) (January 15, 2007)

Wait, you mean they didn't drop down to the much smaller capacity club after failing to fill the larger one? Or was that my imagination.

Someone (January 15, 2007)

A band that draws more people and sells more tickets, I'd guess. AAA aren't worth shit.

Someone (January 17, 2007)

yeah man wtf is this shit, world/infernos so much better

Someone (January 15, 2007)

syr667 (January 15, 2007)

does all their stuff sound so limp bizkit? because i didn't like that song at all, it's so cocky and arrogant... if i'm going to listen to "rap rock" i want it to be something like orange 9mm or rage against the machine....

of course people with otherwise decent taste do seem to love these guys...

love always

Only a few songs sound like this. This song is one of theirs I really don't care for.

The rest of their shit sounds kind of like old Blink 182, or MxPx, but just SLIGHTLY less cheesy.

syr667 (January 15, 2007)

okay, cuz that actually sounds pretty tolerable...

That EP is half pop punk, half covers of crunk rap songs.

JoshCBFL (January 15, 2007)

C-rap.

Someone (January 15, 2007)

It doesn't matter if they continue to write pop-punk or rap-punk, this band could become SOOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking huge if they signed to a major.

Imagine... three black dudes playing instruments... themselves... live!

If they stick with the pop-punk shit, they could probably be another Blink 182.

I like about half of their shit, but don't doubt it, simply being black got them where they are.

Same songs with white guys, no one would care.

Someone (January 15, 2007)

I really liked their first album. It was just straight pop-punk (not counting the rap tracks at the end, which seemed tacked on). This sounds like they're trying too hard to be black, though.

fallingupwards84 (January 15, 2007)

pop-punk is no longer as popular as it used to be. in 2002, these guys could have done it, but nowdays you have to sound like Hawthorne Heights with random screams in order to be idolized by the mtv crowd

Someone (January 15, 2007)

correct me if i'm wrong but its obvious these guys are doing it. they are blowing the fuck up.

spalmer (January 15, 2007)

why not seed... (?) or upload stuff of your own?

Someone (January 15, 2007)

I was fine doing that with BitComet, but now that that client is no longer allowed I've been using Utorrent.

I've been trying to upload shit for a long time, and nothing will seed.

I originally got banned from Kray before from downloading a DVD. That really fucked my ratio, and I figured out how to upload stuff, came close to being even, but it was too late.

They let me back in about a month back, and I've been trying to upload, and to no avail. So I've only downloaded one thing since (until I can upload), because I don't want to get banned before Smoke Or Fire leaks.

Do all of their songs sound like this or is there more rap in this one?

ChokingVictim (January 15, 2007)

I haven't listened to this one, but their first CD is all pop-punk with 4 hidden rap songs at the end.

From the comments I have read, this song isn't really a fair representation of what their whole catalog sounds like.

fallingupwards84 (January 15, 2007)

very few of their songs have any rap at all
they sound similar to mxpx or older blink 182

fallingupwards84 (January 15, 2007)

many of you have suggested that WWB would not be nearly as popular if they were white.
there is a major problem with that line of thinking, however, because what you are essentially saying is that if a black band is successful, then they didnt really earn it, they're just a gimmick

i was talking with a good friend of mine who happened to be black about my ex-girlfriend, who was also black and whose dad was vice-president of a big corporation.
i was describing her to my friend and told him that "she wasnt really black, her dad is vice-president of a major corporation and they live in a very wealthy neighborhood"
and my friend looked at me and said "so what you're saying is that any black person who is successful and is making money is automatically acting "white" and "selling out"?"
that made me think a lot... and made me realize t

corporations look for good employees. record companies look for an image they can sell. you can't really compare the two.

Corporations look for an image too.

Someone (January 15, 2007)

I think we all know there is a major difference between the two fields.

Someone (January 15, 2007)

Dude, they have a gimmick. Gimmicks sell. It's not like they're "black punk rockers." They're homies, playing pop punk.
